Well, Shelly wasn't very social. She stayed in her room most of the time, skyping/yelling with her ex-boyfriend or watching weird youtube videos (who knows where she found them). It was her little cave and sanctuary. One night, she decided to be social and sit with us out in the living room while we did our homework. We thought this was great at first because she was actually trying to put herself out there. The moment I heard her turn the volume all the way up, I knew this was going to be bad...our wonderful moment had turned disastrous.
We all have our favorite childhood book. I loved The Giving Tree and Shelly loved Stellaluna. Apparently you can have books read aloud to you on youtube...she was sitting close to me but on the other couch and singing along (I have no idea why there was singing, it's a book...?). I was laying down doing homework and just decided to rest my head for a few minutes until it was over and I could concentrate again. Just to let you know, Stellaluna has 3 to 5 parts depending on which version you choose to play. Now, I'm not sure which version she played but each part is 12 to 15 minutes long...here's a little snippet from that night of horror.
Just listen to that voice, with your volume all the way up...what you do after that, is up to you.
Well she watched the first two parts (well I assume just the first two based on how long I was out..) and then went into the bathroom. Evy woke me up and told me she just went into the bathroom. I was so glad, this meant I had, at the least, forty five minutes to finish my homework before she came back out.
YEAH!
For those of you who don't know my floor plan, the bathroom was just off of the living room. She started singing the opening theme song from Stellaluna like it was Broadway or something!! She didn't just sing it once, it was like it was on replay. I couldn't handle it...I was about to start pounding my head into the ground...
Well, the noise she was making started fading in to the background and I got going on my homework once again. It is truly amazing the humor that Heavenly Father has. Shelly was only in the bathroom for a record time of fifteen minutes.
I could not believe it! She came right back out and started watching Stellaluna again...I decided to just finish my homework the next day and just go to bed. Wise decision on my part...
